Architecture


Perhaps the mastepiece of modern architecture is an hotel named Burj Al Arab located in Dubai.

The form of the hotel is like a boat sail. It was built over an artificail island. The hotel's height is of about 321 metres.The hotel is connected by an inland road. The whole hotel is worth 1500000 million dollars. Rather expensive. The architect in chartge of building this masterpiece was Tom wrifght of Atkins Middle East. The building of the hotel started in 1994 and was opened on the first of December 1999.


The masterpiece has a modern architecture that challenged the engineers of the construction. The materials used were top line materials includiong a fabric that covers a great surface of the hotel.

The figure that it creates is just perfect, like a sail. It proves that the Arab population is capable of building impressive masterpieces just like they used to build like Alhambra in Spain or the different palaces that there are.

Mr. Crow: So I wanna go to Burj Al Arab, perhaps play tennis on the heliport, or eat at any of the nine different restaurants. Again the elegance goes with me. Black is a very elegant color. I guess I'll need to save money for like emm... 10 years. Oh and let's see if they allow a feathered pal enter a 7 star hotel.
